From the home page of Leighton Armitage, a professor at Foothill College:

"Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat." -- Mark Twain

"The year before I took office as governor, California had 300 days of sunshine. Last year, under my administration, we had 312 days of sunshine. That's what true leadership is all about." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger

# Joe Vialls - Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami? - the mother of all conspiracy theories. Contends that the tsunami was caused by a hydrogen bomb in the Sumatran trench. Whew. They don't make grains of salt big enough for this one. [smith2004]

# Ahmad Al-Qloushi at FrontPage Magazine - Dissident Arab Gets the Treatment - an Iraqi escaped to America and wrote a pro-America final exam essay. The professor, Joseph Woolcock, demanded that he receive counseling. When he reported this abuse to the media, the professor filed a grievance against him. And Mr. Al-Qloushi is not alone. Michael Wiesner received similar treatment at the hands of Professor David Horowitz. [samizdata]

# Aaron Turpen, The Militant Libertarian - The Council on Foreign Relations - Mr. Turpen gives the publishers of Foreign Affairs a piece of his mind in response to a subscription invitation. [militant]

Were I to have my way, first thing in the morning (Sunday or not), America would do the following:

Drop all support of foreign nations that is not mutually beneficial: this means no more foreign aid, no more open-ended credit, no more military intervention of any type, and no more preferential treatment for any reason. Private interests in America are free to raise money and send it wherever they'd like for whatever purpose they feel is just. The federal government, however, will not.
Give the United Nations thirty days to relocate their buildings, personnel, etc. off of American soil. At that time, the facilities will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and the profits kept by the federal government, which funded all of it anyway and therefore has ownership. This money will be used in the public interest of the American people. As with foreign aid, all aid to the UN will be removed completely and the UN will be left free to fend for itself without our help. We'll keep Yellowstone for ourselves, thank you: find a "World Heritage Site" somewhere else.
Rescind the "Federal Reserve" and the Acts which created this monstrosity of money-control over our nation. The current owners and operators of that institution will be left free to attempt to collect their debts from US in any way they think they can. We will, of course, retain our right to defend ourselves and our sovereignty as a nation. Good luck.
For demanding these things, of course, I'm labeled a "right wing extremist," a "racist," and a "war monger." Fine. Label me all you want. I'm still right.

# Vin Suprynowicz at The Las Vegas Review-Journal - No certainty about Africans and HIV - what if the pandemic of AIDS in Africa is a myth? From AIDS in Africa? by Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos and Valendar F. Turner:

Many experts on African AIDS accepted this fact even at the beginning of the AIDS era. Earlier this year Myron Essex, a leading American researcher and his colleagues from Harvard University, when discussing their experimental data on HIV antibody testing in Africa, again warned that the HIV antibody tests "may not be sufficient for HIV diagnosis in AIDS-endemic areas of Central Africa where the prevalence of mycobacterial diseases [leprosy and tuberculosis and others, whose antibodies cross-react] is quite high".

Thus, in Africa there is no certainty that Africans are actually infected with a putative new agent, HIV. AIDS experts also agree that acquired immune deficiency (the "AID" in AIDS) is also long standing in Africa. This has been caused by malnutrition, certain well known viruses and diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, all of which are known to exert a major depressant action on the immune system.

Notwithstanding, unlike the West, in Africa AIDS is diagnosed without any laboratory tests, patients are classified as AIDS cases without laboratory proof that they have either immunodeficiency or HIV infection. All Africans need to have are various clinical conditions. But the conditions accepted as forming the "S" (syndrome) of "AIDS" in Africa bear no relationship to AIDS in the West.

In the West, AIDS consists of a person's having one or more of approximately 27 relatively rare diseases. In Africa, AIDS as defined by the World Health Organisation 1986/87 Bangui African AIDS definition is no more than a collage of common non-specific symptoms and signs such as cough, fever and diarrhoea, and a few diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and a cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma, diseases which have been endemic in Africa for generations.

History

Quotes

Government doesn't work. Never did. Never will. Can't. But there are lots of good people. Love them.

-- Bill St. Clair

The Atlanta Declaration

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.

-- L. Neil Smith

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

-- L. Neil Smith

A Penalty Clause for the Bill of Rights

Any official, appointed or elected, at any level of government, who attempts, through legislative act or other means, to nullify, evade, or avoid the provisions of the first ten amendments to this Constitution, or of the Thirteenth Amendment, shall be summarily removed from office, and, upon conviction, deprived of all pay and benefits including pension, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

-- L. Neil Smith

Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents.

-- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report on gun control laws.

Who is a libertarian?

Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap")

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."

-- L. Neil Smith

(Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP")

Why Did It Have to be... Guns?

Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

-- L. Neil Smith

Concise

"Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you."

-- Mike Vanderboegh

Also from The Atlanta Declaration:

... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party.

-- L. Neil Smith

This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion.

-- Vin Suprynowicz

If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.

-- Edward Abbey

The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war.

-- Bill St. Clair
